Synopsis
This failure indicates a failure
in the C external SRAM at
power up test. Some basic
failure modes:
1) Missing supply or ground to
SLIC.
2) Open in parallel address bus,
data bus or associated select
lines between the host C and
the SLIC and the SRAM.
3) 4xECLK missing to the SLIC.
4) SLIC is faulty.
5) Improper decoding logic due
to open or failure of U211 AND
logic gate.
6) SRAM is faulty.

Synopsis
This failure indicates the Host
C internal EEPROM is incorrect.
This data contains, among other
things, radio tuning parameters.
Basic failure modes are as
follows:
1) The contents of the internal
EEPROM have been corrupted.
A possible cause of corrupted
data may be improper operation
of the power down RESET
circuit U407.
2) An internal failure of U204
has occurred.
